Anticipate: New ones from San Antokyo and Loch Ness Monster

In just a couple of weeks, Thick Syrup in conjunction with Max Recordings, is putting out the debut from raucous local rockers San Antokyo. It's called "The Big Collapse" and, from the tracks you can preview on Thick Syrup's MySpace page, it sounds like something you're gonna want to play loud. At barbecues and on booze cruises. The CD release party is Aug. 2 at White Water.
